dovecot - Oct 2012 - Master User Question

OK - I'm trying to do weird stuff so rather not answer why I'm doing
this.

Trying to log in using a master user:

user at example.com*master at master.com

When debugging the master authenticates - but then it tries to 
authenticate user at example.com and it's not found. And - it is true that 
the user doesn't actually exist.

What I want to do is allow it to log in without checking if the user 
exists, just on the credentials of the master.

I'm not quite understanding what the login attempt for user at example.com 
is trying to do. Is it looking for more necessary information?

Hope I asked this clearly enough. Thanks in advance.

i dont understand why login should work with masteruser to user , when
user does not exist, would you like to get the user created on the fly
by masteruser login etc ?

you may manipulate your master query in some magic way
